I've done a preliminary check on all of my runtimes and from a surface view all but 2 seem to be ok.  I guess I'll find out in time if Poser can't locate files.

Anyway, it seems (I hope), that the problem only affected my "Props" and "V3 Charactrer Addons" Runtimes.  I redid the props one last week because of similar problems, but didn't twig as to the reason "why" I was having problems.  I'm nearly finished reinstalling my character addons now, so hopefully that will be the end of it.  I've reinstalled my runtimes so many times over the last few years that I've gotten quite fast at rebuilding them,  LOL 

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to do this now that I have a large HD (partioned with 2 volumes 60 gigs and 239 gigs), a large External HD (not partitioned)  and a DVD burner. Unfortunately I didn't have those available to me with my old computer, so I had no choice but to use CDs to save my data. It was either that or lose it all.  At least this way I retained it...sort of, but I can see what I had installed and it's making reinstalling it faster.

I've been using that SyncToy program from MicroSoft.  It helps, but I find that while it moves files around, it doesn't seem to delete the empty folders that are left. Any tips on that? I read the instructions carefully and it seems I have it set up right (to mirror what happens in each pair), but it doesn't seem to do that where empty folders are concerned.
